Summaries in English and Sesotho / This qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study explored culturally sensitive health
information about the use of herbal medicine by pregnant women in Lesotho, in order to
provide culturally sensitive health advice to pregnant women. Pregnant women used
herbal medicine and remedies during pregnancy resulted in still births and complications
during labour. Data on the beliefs and practices of fifteen purposively and conveniently
sampled pregnant women attending a rural antenatal clinic was collected through semistructured interviews and analysed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Ethical principles
and strategies to ensure trustworthiness were applied. One central theme emerged:
‘Women believe that the use of herbal medicine and remedies is a traditional practice that
pregnant women need to follow due to culture’. The cultural beliefs and practices of the
women were deeply rooted in Basotho culture, which guided the use of herbal medicine.
However, some considered herbal medicines to be harmful, as the dosage and content
of these medicines vary. Nurses are therefore key to providing culturally sensitive health
care advise on using herbal medicine during pregnancy. / Boithuto bona ba boleng bo botle, bo hlalosang le ho fumaneng tlhaiso-leseling e mabapi
